Who is required to complete and sign the Dq Treat credit application?

According to the 2025 Dq Treat Franchise Disclosure Document, the legal entity operating the location, participating franchisee, or sub-franchisee is required to complete and sign the FD Prepaid Implementation and Boarding Form Version Dq. Specifically, the legal entity name of the operated location, participating franchisee, or sub-franchisee should be entered on the first line of page 3. The document also requires that the person signing enter their name, title, street address, city, state, and zip code of the legal entity along with the date Addendum #1 is signed.

This means that if you, as a Dq Treat franchisee, choose to rent or purchase an FD-150 terminal for gift card use, you must complete Addendum #1. As part of this process, the legal entity that will operate the location (which could be you as the franchisee or a sub-franchisee) must complete and sign the credit application form. This ensures that the financial obligations are clearly assigned to the correct legal entity.

It is important to note that after completing the FD Prepaid Implementation and Boarding Form Version Dq, the franchisee must return both completed and signed originals of the Participation Agreement and Credit Application to the provided fax number. After processing the Participation Agreement, GIFT will return one fully executed copy of the Participation Agreement to the franchisee, including the GIFT Merchant ID Number and First Data Net log-on information to access gift card reconciliation reports via the Internet.
